Kanye West - Strange Fruit lyrics

[Nina Simone Sample] Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange Fruit [Hook: John Legend] Dance little brother, dont give up the fight Hang on 'til tomorrow, the truth will come to light Dance little sister, don't give up today Hang on 'til tomorrow, tonight we celebrate, celebrate [Verse 1: Common] Black bodies on the wall, color from years ago It's spiritual the way that them tears they fell slow Roots and bruises so deep, found it hard to sleep Souls lost in the heat, pray to God to keep Fast forward to my pop, he nod and geeked-off the Heron Still he was dead to bear arms Thats where I'm from, my story ain't that different from yours A blood line, a hard time, prisons and wars With struggle it came rain, when it rains it pours We stayed between liquor stores, and "praise the Lord" Singing "we shall overcome" cause we came for more We were dancing for it to rain no more Though hurricanes and waves they came ashore Takin' lives of the brave and poor They'd ignore, us once again But it was lessons in the wind Of change that came from within So... [Hook] [Verse 2: Common] Wonder if I make it to heaven, will I get a chance to party And celebrate with the great black bodies Im talking bout Marley, Nina, and Marcus Garvey Similair to Africa the streets is our safari From shanties in slums, is children with guns AIDS and poverty k**ing our young Gramps keep sayin a savior gon' come For the meek and the humble favor gon' come From the same trees we were hung, we can see the sun In the darkest hour, our power begun I write from the same place they were bleedin' from I'm emceein they done until the streets is won So far we've come, with so far to go To do the impossible only God will know-how we do it I speak it and I put it in the music The struggle lives through it, its a movement so move it [Hook] Dance little brother, dont give up the fight Hang on 'til tomorrow, the truth will come to light Dance little sister, don't give up the day Hang on 'til tomorrow, tonight we celebrate Celebrate...celebrate...celebrate...celebrate...celebrate Oooooo you got to Dance little brother,(oooh) dont give up the fight.(Dont give up the fight) Hang on 'til tomorrow,(oooh) the truth will come to light.(will come to light Dance little sister,(ooh) don't give up the day.(dont give up today) Hang on 'til tomorrow, tonight we celebrate, celebrate
